“AI nurses” as “good as any doctor”: RFK Jr. confirms he wants to take away people’s health care

Certainly it seemed as if Robert F. Kennedy Junior Benzala was hit on Wednesday. During the Senate session Donald Trump A candidate for the presidency of the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services, Kennedy coordinated, sought his throat, sought, and dawn his nose, and painfully for those who were forced to listen, heavily in an unpleasant microphone while others spoke. I am not a doctor, of course, and I cannot diagnose it. I just say that even the most powerful believers Covid-19 Will the trick be hesitant to sit next to their colleagues accusing? For a man who claims that it is time “A break” in medical research in a contagious diseaseIt is possible that it is possible that it will be disturbing paradoxes to provide such a convincing reminder of the validity of the bacterial theory.

(No, I do not refer to Kennedy’s voice disorder, which causes his voice to be shaken. This does not cause the phlegm festival that he struggled on Wednesday.)

Despite his apparent illness, Kennedy stuck to his stove to reformulate health as a special issue instead of general anxiety. Over the course of the session, it became clear why this democracy has turned for life into the Republican Party. His point of view is that the patients did so for themselves and deserve what will happen to them. RepublicansLong -term desire to deny health care For millions of Americans. Kennedy may wear this “prevention” or caring for children, but the message came loudly and clearly: medical patients are parasites that absorb resources than better and more responsibility.

In his opening statement, Kennedy pointed out that the United States spends “much more on health care” more than other developed countries, but it refused to note the clear reason: there are no other countries committed deeply in the profit insurance system. This objection has rejected a red pink: “Transforming the burden between the government, companies and families is similar to rearranging the deck chairs on Titanic”, and it evades the proof that different entities have different measures of the cost of health to provide care.

Instead, Kennedy blames a “chronic disease”, a mysterious category that includes a loving of diseases such as “autoimmune diseases, nervous growth disorders, asthma, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, depression, addiction”, and drinking diabetes in particular. I will leave it to experts and the facts to explain how bad the various reasons for these conditions are. What matters here is the rhetorical purpose “chronic disease” blames: to blame the victims, and create an excuse to take their health care.

Kennedy spent decades of time as a conspiracy to combat Al -Qahim, and his training as BS was completely shown in a session on Wednesday. It is my hair on the importance of “prevention”. To the point where even those of us who know that it is full of it can be absorbed, at least until we remember that it rejects the most important individual forms of preventive care that has been developed at all. (Vaccines, DuH.

When asked how he would implement “prevention” for Medicare and Medicaid patients, Kennedy replied that it is about “making them responsible for their health care, so they understand the relationship between eating and disease.” He said that people with food aid must have been reduced by their options so that they could not buy processed foods. This is designed to look positively positive while doing anything to help people. There is no living person who thinks the oreus is better for you than apples. Diming their lecturer on this topic and restricting their dining budget will not do anything to reduce their medical costs, but it creates an excuse for denying health care by claiming that they were ill.

When Senator Bernie Sanders asked me, whether health care is the right, Kennedy is close to showing his true colors by refusing to answer the question.

Under the lengthy abolition, Kennedy admitted, but he believes that care should be rejected if your previous behavior is not “healthy” enough. “Freedom of expression does not cost anyone anything, but in the field of health care, if you smoke cigarettes for 20 years and you will get the cancer you are now taking from the pool. Are you guaranteed the same right?” Kennedy picked up in Sanders.

On its surface, this may seem fair. Most people do not have much sympathy for smokers these days. But this should be seen in the greatest context of Kennedy’s continuous abstinence: Most diseases are the result of what people eat, so blame can be blamed for almost any health problem on “personal options”, especially when they are absolute of scientific facts such as Kennedy.

There is a complete “wellness” industry, which is deeply connected, selling the idea that “clean” food and a healthy life will prevent every type of disease. We saw this in the process during the epidemic, When the influencers are assembled like Joe Rogan The idea that the diet and exercise were “prevention” over the vaccine. In other cases, it is more complicated: there is no doubt that diabetes has both diet and genetic factors. But it is not a big leap to move from wrong or doubtful allegations about personal health practices to blame patients for not taking your advice.

Kennedy’s passion for access to health care erupted over and over again during the session, the most comedy when they offered computer programs as a substitute for doctors. When asked about the deficiency of the provider in rural areas, it is He fled about an article he read He described “Amnesty International nurse that you cannot distinguish between a person, which has been well diagnosed like any doctor.” I don’t know what is more terrifying: replacing doctors with chat panels, or the fact that Kennedy wants to lift the medical system based on a semi -remembrance article.

In a more dangerous note, Kennedy has repeatedly shook in the old Republican dream of lowering Medicare and Medicaid. The Medicare Advantage scheme, which is a privatization scheme prepared Although studies appear over and over again Patient costs without improving care. There was a particularly specific exchange with Senator Thom Tillis, RN.C, who mocked people who consider Medicaid “Sacrosant” and announced that the program, which covers nearly one in five Americans “, did not produce positive results.

This is a lie since then 83 % of people with Medicaid enrich the program positivelyAnd it is slightly higher than the categories of the insurance provided by the employer. But Kennedy could not agree quickly enough, declaring, “We spend $ 900 billion. People get sick every year.” There is no doubt that the Republicans were happy, because they are A massive discounts proposal to medicaid To finance another tax reduction for the richest Americans.

Kennedy uses his position as a former democratic as a shield to look “reasonable” despite his contracts to revitalize the conspiracy theory, but what he was taking out on Wednesday is the same right -wing nonsense that we heard forever. Kennedy noted that health care spending does not do anything to help people, and their situation may make them worse. In fact, low-income persons have worse health results in a small part of that because they have intermittent or incomplete access to medical care, and medicaid-a main insurance program, not a savings program-it can not do a little to address this. Removing any access to people now will not force them to align their way to improve health. Kennedy and his new Republican presidents know this, which is why their excuses are lined when health results increase: patients should blame.
